Informal poll time. Do you or anyone else you know use '2L' as an abbreviation for 'Second Life'?
Also, look -- I started a thread, my first in 9 months! And my first since 2004 that isn't me complaining about something or other! Hooray!

The only places I have seen '2L' used is on Slashdot and other forums not specific to SL. =)

Hmm, this poll software is pretty rudimentary. I'd really like more options, given the questions these responses are popping up in my mind.
I'd like to see sorting by account date, saying whether they first heard 2L from someone else in SL, before using it, whether they heard it outside SL... and then there's the question of whether or not you abbreviate it as something else! "2nd Life" makes sense too! vBulletin, you have failed me once again. Edit: Huh, maybe this thread IS about me complaining after all. _____________________

The natrix has you, Catherine.
Suezanne, Lewis and Introvert will be next. I doubt they'll ever break that Ritter though. |

I can think of a few cool things to do with 2L or L2 (already taken by Lineage II), but as far as branding goes, it's been SL for so long that changing it would probably be a bad idea all around. SL is no "Coke", but a quick Googling of SL will show several web presences linked to Second Life. A few well established businesses with web sites using names based on SL would have to hunt for new domain names if things suddenly changed.
It's in the Wikipedia (and so is Starax, almost) |

I use 2L as a prefix for all of my secretive plots. like "2L_ReignOfProphesy" or "2L_EscortUmbrellaGuitarCocks" that have to do specifically w/ SecondLife.

"Here you go, data."
"It's Data." "But Data and data are both accepted pronunciations of the word." "Yes, but one is my name and the other is not." It's Second Life, but not really a 2nd life, no? _____________________

I usually see SL in game and in the forums, but I've seen some players use 2L.

I've always used and seen SL. Maybe I simply don't go to websites that use 2L, though.
